And the Argentine Lionel Messi, the French striker of Paris Saint-Germain, wants to leave the ranks of the Parisian team and return to Barcelona, ​​​​after he did not feel comfortable in the “PSG”.

Messi left Barcelona during the last summer transfer period, to move to Paris Saint-Germain in a free transfer deal, due to the failure to register him as a player with the Catalan team.

Messi has been in a state of instability since his arrival in the French capital, Paris, where he preferred to live in a hotel rather than stay in a home in his first months with the team.

Journalist Eduardo Enda said in statements to the famous Spanish program “El Chiringuito”: “Messi spoke with coach Xavi Hernandez and asked him to return to Barcelona. The coach expressed his happiness with the request, but asked him to speak with the club’s president, Juan Laporta.”

It is reported that Messi had expressed his anger at what Laporta said after his departure from the club that the player refused to play for free for Barca, stressing that the salary was not the reason for his departure from the club, which caused the star’s relationship with his former club president to worsen.

The reports indicated that “Laporta did not contact Messi until that time, regarding him returning to the ranks of the Catalan team.”

Lionel Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in the summer of 2023, with the possibility of a third season extension.

It is noteworthy that among the reasons that prompted Messi to leave the Parisian team, he was subjected to many criticisms from the fans of Paris Saint-Germain, according to what was announced by the Spanish newspapers.

Messi participated with Paris Saint-Germain in 34 games last season, during which he scored 11 goals and assisted 14 others.

Lionel Messi won the French League title with Paris Saint-Germain last season, and the marketing value of the Argentine flea is 50 million euros, according to the global Transfer Market website.

Press reports revealed that Barcelona club officials’ negotiations with one of the jewels of the Catalan team are on the right track during the current summer transfer period.

According to the Catalan newspaper, “Sport”, the agreement was made between Barcelona and Jaffe to renew his contract with the team for the next four seasons to continue with the young player with Barca until June 30, 2026.

The name of 17-year-old Jaffe has been associated with many top European clubs, most notably Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and even Real Madrid, after Florentino Perez’s recent statements, in which he did not deny the idea of ​​contracting with the young Barca star, so the administration wanted to extend his contract some time ago. long..

The newspaper pointed out that Jaffe, 17, will sign a renewal of his contract with the Catalan team as soon as he returns to training after the end of the summer vacation on July 11.

And Jaffe, the talent of Barcelona, ​​had earlier rejected the first offer made by the Catalan team’s management to renew his contract with Barca, which expired in June 2023.

The newspaper said that the meeting of Barcelona’s management with Ivan de la Peña, Jaffe’s agent, was positive today, bringing the club close to extending the player’s contract.

And the newspaper reported, that Barcelona has improved the player’s annual salary in its new offer, as Jaffe is scheduled to renew his contract for five years until the summer of 2027, with a large penalty clause of one billion euros.

The newspaper said that the Barcelona administration is actively seeking to resolve the file of renewing the contract of Gavi, the Blaugrana talent, to protect him from the temptations of European clubs.

Spanish press sources revealed that the Senegalese defender, Kalidou Koulibaly, of Naples, had offered to manage Barcelona for an unexpected amount to support the team’s defenses.

The name of Senegalese defender Koulibaly has been linked to a move to Barcelona for years, and is linked to a contract with the Napoli team that ends in the summer of 2023, which means that he may leave at the end of next season for free.

According to the Catalan newspaper, “Sport”, Koulibaly offered himself to Barcelona for 20 million euros to join the team this summer.

The newspaper pointed out that the agent, Vali Radmadani, Koulibaly’s business agent, offered his player’s services to the Barca administration, in reference to the approval of Naples officials on the principle of selling him.

This talk comes after Barcelona received 207 million euros in exchange for selling 10% of the rights to broadcast the team’s matches in the Spanish League, to the American investment company Sixth Street.

And Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, ​​had announced that the club was spending 200 million euros on deals in a press statement last Friday.

And the newspaper said that contracting with Coulibaly would save a lot of money for Barcelona, ​​which was intending to include Julen Conde from Seville, Spain, with a 3-fold increase and a value of about 60 million euros.

And it was reported that the provision of Conde’s money by including Koulibaly, would give Barcelona the opportunity to bring Polish striker Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, where the latter asked for 60 million euros, while Barca offered only 40 million.

It is worth noting that the name Barcelona has recently been associated with many names, most notably Leeds United winger Rafinha and Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, in addition to Lewandowski and Conde and Chelsea duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

The amazing talent of the Italian national team, Wilfried Gonto, has revealed his dream for the club he wants to play for in the future and who aspires to carry his shirts in particular.

Gonto recently played more than one match with the Italian national team, scoring a goal and making another in the two matches against Germany in the European Nations League.

The 18-year-old Gonto, who got a chance with the Italian national team in the European Nations League with Roberto Mancini and clung to it and proved his worth, plays for the Swiss club FC Zurich.

Gonto told Sportweek that he would like to represent Barcelona one day.

Gonto said: “My dream is to play for Barcelona, ​​Messi is my role model, even now he is a player for Paris Saint-Germain. He has gone through many sacrifices since his beginnings. His family supported him, and he never forgot his origins.”

He added: “He is a calm young man, he was not deceived by everything he reached, I see myself imitating him, and on the field he is unique.”

As the 18-year-old pointed out, Inter Milan, where he started his career, was not exempt from the option to return.

And about his time at Inter, he commented: “When I arrived in Milan, I was not a fan of Inter, for me there was only Barcelona and Messi.”
The Italian international indicated that he suffered a lot in his childhood, but he is aware of how much his parents helped him in many things, and that he “understands everything he gave him and feels very grateful” and thanked them for everything they did.

He concluded: “Then I became in love with the Nerazzurri, and sometimes I cried, as happened at the Juventus meeting in April 2018, where I was at San Siro with a friend of mine, and when Higuain scored a few minutes before the end of the match, we burst into tears. That night I became A true fan of Inter.

Here, it should be noted that Genonto’s impressive performance in the UEFA Nations League with Italy attracted the attention of many major European clubs, but this seems to be good news for the Catalan club, which is starting the pillars of the future with coach Xavi Hernandez.

Spanish press reports revealed today, Saturday, that Barcelona Club is close to achieving a financial breakthrough in the current summer transfer market, in preparation for the new football season 2023, after receiving 207.5 million euros, two days ago, in exchange for selling part of the rights to broadcast its matches.

“If Barcelona activate the cranes, they can sign Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva and some others,” La Liga president Javier Tebas said during a press conference carried by Catalan sports media.

According to the Catalan newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, the Barca administration is currently working to sell 15% of the TV broadcasting rights for 400 million euros.

Barcelona is seeking to complete this matter before July 17, which is the date on which the Blaugrana tour will begin in the United States of America, in preparation for the next season.

El Mundo confirmed that Barcelona will allocate 200 million euros of this amount for summer deals.

The newspaper pointed out that the players targeted by the Blaugrana administration are: Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), Jules Conde (Sevilla), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Rafinha (Leeds United), Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso (Chelsea).

The newspaper said that Xavi has made hiring Bernardo Silva a priority should Frenkie de Jong leave this summer.

But to commit to the services of the Manchester City star, Barcelona must spend between 90 and 100 million euros.

Yesterday, Barcelona announced that the name of the company “Spotify” was placed on its own stadium, “Camp Nou”, after the company succeeded in concluding a deal with the Catalan club to sponsor the team’s stadium, so that the name of the stadium would be “Spotify Camp Nou”.

Barcelona and the Spotify application, the alliance through which the music platform became the main sponsor of the Catalan club, where the logo of the Swedish company appeared on the main interface of the Camp Nou, along with pictures of players from the first team for men and women.

Moreover, since it appeared on the competition shirts from the 2022-2023 season, for a period of 4 years, and the training shirts for the next three years, for both men’s and women’s teams, the music application also became a partner in the name of the Barca stadium, becoming “Spotify Camp Nou”.

Barcelona is expected to generate an estimated return of 70 million euros over the next four years, including performance variables.

In the defensive sector, the Catalan club is also preparing the arrivals with three players from Chelsea on goal: Andreas Christensen, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.

Spanish press reports revealed that Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez prevented many players from training in the new season, as he decided to dispense with them permanently, and assured them that they were outside his accounts.

Barcelona begins the process of liquidating its players who do not want to sign them, and this time the coach of the team, Xavi Hernandez, was clear with the players he wanted to leave.

And the Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, reported that many players were informed that they may leave the club, but with the preparatory season approaching, starting on Monday, the fourth of July.

The newspaper said, that the group in question consists of Óscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig, Samuel Umtiti and Martin Braithwaite, Xavi and the club have informed these players that they do not need to attend training.

And Xavi gave the players who wanted to leave last week the green light to search for a club, after clearly stating his desire to them.

And the newspaper hinted, that they will not even be called to participate in Barcelona’s tour of the United States later in July.

Braithwaite’s case is a little different in that he won’t be back with the team until later, due to his international commitments in early June.

This will likely be the last step to convince the players involved that a better future for them lies beyond the Camp Nou.

But what makes things difficult is that these players do not participate regularly, as the departure of a player like Philippe Coutinho for the English Premier League was not an easy thing.

The newspaper concluded its report, the revolution of Xavi Hernandez begins and is expected to carry the departure of many names who will not participate in the next season with him, as well as to download salary cuts to facilitate the arrival of more Barcelona goals in the Mercato.

Barcelona is close to resolving the deal to replace Frenchman Ousmane Dembele from the English Premier League after fierce competition with Chelsea and Arsenal.

Barcelona is seeking to strengthen its offensive line after Dembele’s agents refused to renew the contract due to financial disputes, and it seems that the Brazilian winger Rafinha, the Leeds United player, is the most prominent candidate to compensate for Dembele’s departure.

The name Rafinha was associated with leaving Leeds United this summer, after the good levels that the Brazilian player provided during the past two seasons.

According to what was published by the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Deco arrived in Barcelona to negotiate with the Catalan club regarding the transfer of his client, Rafinha, from Leeds United to the Blaugrana.
The newspaper hinted that Barcelona wanted to sign Rafinha for 5 seasons, but it is believed that the deal depends on the future of Ousmane Dembele.

Dembele’s contract with Barcelona expires at the end of this season, but the Frenchman can still stay in the “Camp Nou”, and Dembele’s stay excludes the possibility of Barcelona joining Rafinha.

And the Catalan newspaper reported, that the Brazilian Rafinha, the Leeds United star, had rejected tempting offers from London clubs in order to move to this summer.

The newspaper pointed out that Arsenal and Chelsea had already made tempting offers to sign Rafinha, but the latter rejected all of them in order to fulfill his dream of moving to the Camp Nou.
And the newspaper said, that Rafinha is not looking for money, he only wants to play in the Barcelona shirt in the new season.

Rafinha joined Leeds United in the summer of 2020 and established himself as one of the most decisive players in the Premier League.

The famous Catalan journalist, Gerard Romero, revealed new details today regarding the Brazilian’s transfer to the Catalan club.

Romero indicated that Matteo Alemani, Barcelona’s sporting director, and Rafinha’s Portuguese agent, Deco, have been in the club’s corridors since this morning, stressing that the deal may take place in the coming hours.

English press reports have confirmed that Chelsea and Arsenal are competing with Barcelona for the services of the Brazilian wing.

It is worth noting that Rafinha’s contract with Leeds United will expire in the summer of 2024, and he participated in the last season with the team 36 games, and succeeded in scoring 11 goals, and making three others.

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez and Poland’s Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich striker, met in one place on the island of Ibiza.

The contract of the 33-year-old Polish striker Robert Lewandowski with Bayern Munich is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2023.

And Lewandowski announced his desire to leave Bayern Munich more than once, and many reports claimed that the Polish already had an agreement with Barcelona.

According to the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Xavi and Lewandowski were in the same restaurant on the island of Ibiza, this evening, Wednesday.

The newspaper pointed out that Xavi and Lewandowski exchanged words and they communicated inside the restaurant,
The newspaper said that they took the opportunity to exchange some words about the current situation and the Polish star’s desire to leave Bayern towards Barcelona.

The newspaper pointed out that Lewandowski assured Xavi during their meeting in Ibiza that he would continue to work with all his strength to join Barcelona, ​​despite Bayern Munich’s position.

The newspaper reported that Barcelona has so far submitted 3 offers to the Bavarian club’s management in order to include the Polish striker in the current summer Mercato.

However, the German club’s management adheres to its opinion and strongly opposes Lewandowski’s departure to Barcelona during the current summer Mercato.

A new club has expressed its interest in signing Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti, during the current summer transfer window.

Umtiti is at the top of the list of players that Barcelona seeks to get rid of during the current summer Mercato, and despite receiving several offers from European clubs, but the French defender has not responded to any of them so far.

In this regard, the French newspaper, “L’Equipe”, stated that the French club Rennes, competing in the French first division, made an offer to Barcelona to sign Umtiti, in order to fill the void left by Moroccan Nayef Akrad.

Moroccan player Nayef Akrad left Rennes a few days ago, heading to West Ham United for 35 million euros, after spending two years with the French club.

And the French newspaper hinted that Umtiti asked for more time to make a decision, and compare the offers presented to him to choose the best one.

She stated that the “outcast Barcelona defender” had received offers from several clubs, most notably the French Olympique Lyon, his former club, the Italian Fiorentina, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas from Turkey.

The 28-year-old French defender joined Barcelona in the summer of 2016, coming from Lyon for 25 million euros, after his brilliance with the French national team in the European Nations Cup “Euro”, which was held in the same year.

The Cameroonian defender suffered from injuries and fluctuated levels with Barcelona, ​​and participated in 132 matches over 6 seasons at Camp Nou, during which he scored two goals.

Throughout last season, Umtiti participated in one match with Barcelona, ​​while he missed almost 4 months due to multiple injuries.

Spanish press reports revealed that Barcelona decided to sign Portuguese international Ruben Neves, Wolverhampton midfielder.

The Portuguese midfielder is receiving great attention from Barcelona’s sports administration, but it is difficult to sign him this summer.

Barcelona coach Xavi gave the green light to the management to settle the Ruben Neves deal, to strengthen the midfield before the start of the new season.

And according to what was published by the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the 25-year-old is the first choice in the search for a replacement for Sergio Busquets, and it is likely that the club will enter negotiations with Wolverhampton to include the middle of the field, especially after entering Manchester United.

Neves wants to move away from Wolverhampton and join a team that will participate in the Champions League next season, and this condition applies only to Barcelona and not Manchester United, despite making an offer of 50 million euros.

Neves is considered one of the most distinguished players in the midfield in the English Premier League for years, and his name has recently been linked to the possibility of moving to Barcelona or Manchester United, but which one prefers the Portuguese?!

The Catalan newspaper indicated that Neves would prefer moving to Barcelona in the Spanish League than moving to Manchester United under the leadership of new coach Eric Ten Hag.

Although Xavi believes that Busquets can still perform at the highest level and continue to be one of the backbone members of the team, the presence of Man United on the line of negotiations with the English club made Xavi demand Laporta to hurry in order to bring the deal, especially after the possible departure of De Jong.

Barcelona was considering signing Neves next summer, after the end of the 2022/2023 season, with only one year left on his contract, in addition to the expiration of Busquets’ contract.

Although the club is very interested in Robin Neves, but he does not intend to risk and enter into negotiations this summer, especially since his price next summer may drop to 40 million euros, and then the economic situation may be better.

The Catalan newspaper stated, that the Neves deal may include players, and this is what encouraged Wolverhampton to ask for Barcelona midfielder, Nico, but the Catalan club is hesitant about the player’s departure system, whether sale or loan.
